Rae Crowther Classic S-ADV Junior Tackler with Junior S Pad
Description
The Rae Crowther Junior S Tackler is a dedicated football tackling sled engineered to teach young players proper hitting position and takedown technique from the ground up. Built around a single pontoon design and the signature S-Pad, this sled replicates the angles of a real opponent - head, torso, waist, and knees - so athletes can train with purpose and accuracy. The S-Pad system allows tacklers to practice eliminating space to the ball carrier, ear to ear, developing the muscle memory needed for game-speed performance.
Unlike traditional sleds, the single pontoon base eliminates the risk of a player landing on the sled's frame, keeping training sessions safer and more effective. The sled design actively encourages players to run their feet through contact, reinforcing the fundamentals coaches demand at every level. Powder-coated for durability and available in Black, Royal, and Red, the Junior S Tackler is a trusted tool for youth football programs serious about developing true tacklers.

FAQ
What age or size player is the Junior S Tackler designed for?
The Junior S Tackler (Model 1SJR) is designed specifically for youth and junior-level football players. The pad height and sled geometry are calibrated for younger athletes still developing their tackling fundamentals, making it ideal for youth leagues, middle school programs, and junior varsity squads.
What makes the S-Pad different from a standard blocking pad?
The S-Pad is shaped to represent the angles of an actual player - head, torso, waist, and knees. This allows tacklers to practice attacking real contact zones rather than a flat surface, reinforcing proper technique for wrapping up and finishing a tackle in a game situation.
Why does the single pontoon design matter for safety?
Traditional sleds with wide base platforms can cause players to land on the base frame after a tackle, creating an injury risk. The single pontoon design eliminates this hazard by keeping the base profile narrow, so athletes can go full speed into the sled without worrying about landing on hard steel components.
How does this sled ship, and will it require assembly?
Due to its weight of 91 lbs and dimensions, the Junior S Tackler typically ships via freight. Please email us at service@omahasportsandgames.com for a delivery ETA and to confirm shipping and assembly details for your location.
Can I choose the pad color when ordering?
Yes! The Junior S Tackler is available with the S-Pad in Black, Royal Blue, or Red so you can match your team's colors. Select your preferred color at the time of purchase.
